Let’s look closer at the allure and popularity of this great wedge. Bob Vokey is the Titleist craftsman and brains behind the great Vokey wedge. Mr. Vokey is a tinkerer by nature,constantly tweaking his creations much to the delight of the Vokey followers. He listens to tour PGA players for their insight. And in many cases, institutes their ideas to the overall wedge design.

There are currently two Vokey models available, the Design Spin Milled and the 200 Series. Let’s the compare the two Vokey models to bring clarity as to their differences:

Vokey 200 Series Features
